Clay, who was originally signed as an undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin last year, suffered a torn quad a week ago this past Sunday. Clay had been waived injured originally and placed on injured reserve according to reports.
Clay spent the better part of his rookie season on the Steelers practice squad. He was promoted to the 53 man roster late in the season and saw his first action against the St. Louis Rams in week 16.

He’s been placed on the wavied/injured list. If he clears waivers the team could bring him back if they choose and just place him on IR for the year while he rehabs the injury. Normally when a player goes on this type of list, they aren’t usually picked up by anyone other than the original team that waived them. The chances of him clearing waivers are probably pretty good, but nothing is ever guaranteed.
Our friend Chuck Finder at @CBSSportsNFLPIT released the news via Twitter on Tuesday afternoon: Steelers activate OT Max Starks off PUP list, waive/injured RB John Clay (reportedly has torn quad); sign rookie RB Jason Ford (U. Illinois).
Clay joined the team as a rookie free agent in 2011 and was placed on the practice squad. He was signed to the active roster in December last year when rookie Curtis Brown went on IR late in the year. In his first ever NFL carry he scored a 10 yd touchdown against the St. Louis 14 Aug 2012 14:19:17 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/john_clay_placed_on_waivedinjured_list_steelers_sign_rookie_rb_jason_ford/s1_10556_11457151

Jim Wexell reported earlier on Tuesday that Clay, who was carted off injured during practice on Sunday, was fearful that he tore his quad and now that indeed seems to be the case. Clay will be placed on injured reserve once he clears waivers.
Ford, who measured in at his pro day at 5103, 251 pounds, was originally signed as an undrafted free agent Read more [...]

Wexell reports that Clay is still waiting on test results, but if it indeed winds up being torn, Clay most likely would be lost for the season and placed on injured reserve.

The Steelers were already thin at the running back position heading into the Sunday practice as both Isaac Redman (groin) and Jonathan Dwyer (shoulder) were both held out of practice with minor injuries. In addition, Rashard Mendenhall (knee) remains limited to working on the side with trainers as he is still on the PUP list, and will remain there to start the regular Read more [...]12 Aug 2012 16:28:09 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/steelers_rb_john_clay_leaves_sunday_practice_on_cart_after_being_injured/s1_8268_11439175

There was an open spot after running back John Clay was signed to the 53 man roster on Friday because of the shortage of running backs. Clay was signed and cornerback Curtis Brown was placed on injured reserve. The shortage at running back was due to running back Mewelde Moore being sidelined for the next couple of weeks after suffering an MCL sprain against the San Francisco 49ers. Moore missed the Saturday game against the St. Louis Rams and will likely be out again this coming Sunday against Read more [...]

Reportedly running backs coach Kirby Wilson told Clay to leave after making a mistake and Clay thought he meant go to locker room. Clay walked towards the lockerroom and was tracked down by a Steelers staffer and told to return. Clay returned for the end of drills and even ran with the running backs after practice and even did his daily duty of carrying in shoulder pads of teammates.

Both Mark Kaboly and Ed Bouchette reported the event via Twitter and both said that Clay was tracked down by Steelers staff member and convinced to return. Clay returned in time for drills to end, but this is not a good sign. Clay left Wisconsin a year early as he figured he was a lock to be drafted. He wasn't and going undrafted hurt him according to reports. While he is a big powerful back, he is one dimensional and he has a long way to go in his development.
